Does your business comply with the Fair Work Act?
1 July has come and gone and one of the biggest challenges for employers is to keep up with the changes in laws surrounding employment. The new Fair Work Act means serious fines can be imposed on employers who do not comply.
Employers should conduct an audit of their payroll, employment contracts and policies to ensure compliance. If employers are unsure, they should seek help from a professional who is proficient in the area of employment law.
Watkins Tapsell has a dedicated team of employment and workplace law practitioners able to assist you to ensure you are compliant with the new Fair Work Act.
Tiana Daly – Partner
With over 10 years legal experience, Tiana Daly heads up our Workplace Law team and is able to advise on the Federal and State industrial systems, constantly keeping up-to-date on daily changes within our industrial relations laws.
She acts in relation to all employment issues including documentation, managing the employment relationship and termination issues. Her work represents both individuals and commercial businesses.
Devanand Saraswati – Senior Solicitor
Deva works with a broad range of clients, from employers wishing to ensure that their relationships with their employees are correctly documented and structured, to individuals who are looking for advice in relation to their personal employment agreements or situations.

It is more cost effective for an employer to get it right before Fair Work Australia prosecutes or employees take action for non-compliance.
